Colin Kaepernick is offering financial assistance to protesters in Minneapolis who have been arrested and need legal representation, joining a number of others offering support to those calling for justice in the wake of George Floyd’s death.
The former San Francisco 49ers quarterback, who sparked a national movement among athletes protesting police brutality against people of color, released a statement on Twitter Friday afternoon saying that he would be helping pay for their legal representation through the Know Your Rights Camp organization.
“In fighting for liberation there’s always retaliation,” Kaepernick wrote. We must protect our Freedom Fighters. We started a legal defense initiative to give legal representation to Freedom Fighters in Minneapolis paid for by @yourrightscamp.
